Initial State

The Initial State tab contains the complete list of all DTCs in the vehicle. The information is based on the vehicle's latest readout information. For each DTC in the list, associated fault tracing procedure documents and their relationship to CSC are available.

Fig. 175: Fault Tracing page - Initial State

Each area of the page is explained in the subsections below.

1. Control Module panel

In the Control Module panel, a graphic reflects the vehicle's network with all control modules' status at the latest readout.

Fig. 176: The Control Module panel

The colour of the control modules in the graphic varies depending on status:

Colour	Description
Red	Active DTC found in control module.
Yellow	Non active DTC found in control module.
Green	No DTC found in control module.
Grey	Control module is not part of this vehicle's configuration or not responsive to communication.

An explanation of the colours is accessed by clicking the icon.

Note

The graphic is only an illustrative support. It is not possible to affect the list of DTCs in the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) panel by clicking a control module in the graphic.

2. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) panel

In this panel, all DTCs found in the control modules are listed.

Fig. 177: The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) panel

For each DTC in the list, a status indication based on the last readout is displayed in a “traffic sign” format:

Colour	Description
	DTC test completed at least once in the current operation cycle and fault was found.
	DTC test did not complete during the current operation cycle.
	DTC test completed at least once in the current operation cycle and no fault was found.
	DTC test result not available.

The DTCs are sorted by status. Red status has a higher value than yellow and is shown first in the list.

By selecting a DTC, related fault tracing information and procedures are available under the Additional Information and Fault Trace Procedure tabs in the panel on the right-hand side of the screen.

3. Fault Trace Procedure tab

When selecting a DTC, from the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) panel, the relevant fault tracing procedure document is presented here. DTC information is shown by default when the document is opened. Click the second link below the document header to open the fault tracing procedure part of the document. Use the first link below the document header to return to the DTC information.
